The rookie quarterback will make his first CFL start Saturday when the Ottawa Redblacks (1-3) host Winnipeg (4-1). Not only are the Blue Bombers unbeaten on the road and versus East Division rivals this season (2-0 for both), their defence is second in the CFL in sacks (16) and fewest offensive yards allowed (307.2 per game).
The Ottawa Redblacks have reached out to McLeod Bethel-Thompson about a potential return to the CFL. According to a league source, Ottawa (1-3) has made an inquiry to the veteran quarterback.
